Marassa, IMHO, Past Perfect is not necessarily talking about distant events, he speaks of completed events, te in Russian as the difference between kill and kill him.
And said to.

You are wrong.

Uh , no - also used in the English Past Perfect ("... had killed two woodcocks and had told the master his exploit"), so too it is obvious that all this happened before.

Yeah, right . I missed that point of view.

Well , it is becoming increasingly clear that sensation with the " last" picture of this tselenaprvlenny PR move . Although interesting, because the English-speaking readers should immediately understand what is actually referred to in this passage?

NOTE:
We would like to thank renowned Renoir specialist, Virginie Journiac for authenticating this work, which will be included in her forthcoming book, Auguste Renoir.

This small picture seems to be the last painting Renoir created, on December 2nd, 1919 , just several hours before his death. In its agony, Renoir evoked this painting, as Félix Fénéon, witness to the last moments of the master's life along with his two doctors, Dr. Prat and Dr. Duthil recounts: Dr Duthil had killed two woodcocks and had told the master his exploit.

 In his frenzy, these birds returned stubbornly and, associated to ideas of painting, were his last concern. "Give me my pallet ... These two woodcocks ... Turn left the woodcock ... Return me back my pallet ... I cannot paint this beak ... Hurry up, my colors ... Change the place of these woodcocks. " He died at two o'clock in the morning Wednesday, December 3rd, 1919 .

Here it is. It's in the auction catalog is a translation of an excerpt from the book of Felix Feneona "Oeuvres plus que completes"

But apparently , this version is the first time put forward by Heritage. At Artcurial unlikely this was discussed .

 And the price is quite a common image for Studies Renoir. The idea is within the estimate it is quite possible to buy and there without any " sensational ." However, soon to be the results - the auction was held today (or passes ( on New York time ) )
